HAUNT ME, you coward. The only way you can, from the outside. Maybe I will let you in, but on my terms preferably, through my legs. Possess me? You will fail, Like you did all those years ago. If you could not with the grip of your hands you sure as hell cannot here. I smell you lurking I recognize the chill on my neck I fantasize over the gaze I feel the pull towards past Presently, I do not see you, because I control my faculties And ghosts cannot touch me the warmth a new lover can.

A Ghost in a Warm Body
HAUNT ME, you coward. The only way you can, from the outside. Maybe I will let you in, but on my terms preferably, through my legs. Possess me? You will fail, Like you did all those years ago. If you could not with the grip of your hands you sure as hell cannot here. I smell you lurking I recognize the chill on my neck I fantasize over the gaze I feel the pull towards past Presently, I do not see you, because I control my faculties And ghosts cannot touch me the warmth a new lover can.
